        I would ask your provost or financial VP to take up
        the matter of the uncooperative postmaster with your
        Congressional Representative. Postage is supposed to
        pay for delivery to the 'delivery address.' University
        personnel doing the work of the post office costs
        plenty.

        Thanks for your comment.

        Best wishes,
